2. What band did you discover in 2016 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?

Choke the Pope: I had no idea who they were when Sean asked to join Dead Bars. I checked them out and I was like "Am I crazy, or are these songs amazing?" I might be crazy but I don't think I am in this instance. Also, Paul from CTP played drums on our last US tour when C.J. couldn't make it happen. So, out of any band in 2016, Choke the Pope had the biggest impact for sure.
